THREE PERFECT WOMEN.
THREE PERFECT LIVES.
SO WHAT ARE THEY HIDING?

When Laura returns from maternity leave to work in a marketing agency, something is not right...

Mia was only supposed to be temporary cover for Laura, but now she's staying permanently. Struggling with the burdens of work and motherhood, Laura starts to feel her life is slipping away.

Then comes the fire - gutting the agency's offices - and the body pulled out of the wreckage...

The police want to talk to three women:

There's Janie, the devoted wife of the CEO.
There's Mia, the agency's fresh new talent.
And then there's Laura, a loyal employee of many years.

Their lives might look perfect from the outside.
But their secrets won't stay hidden forever...

'It's Heidi Perks's understanding of different types of women, and the fact that office politics is so often just a brutal playground for acting out unresolved issues at home, that makes this a true winner' DAILY MAIL

Ratings and reviews

What a cleverly plotted novel! Three women, one crime and no straight path to the guilty. Laurie chose her own replacement to cover whilst she took maternity leave; on her return she's shocked to find Mia still in place. Mia, in turn, has worked hard to make herself useful and popular and has no intentions of being squeezed out - she needs this job - but why? Janie, whose husband is CEO, gave up her successful career to look after their children, but isn't completely happy about it. All three women have secrets, and when a fire destroys the iconic building where the business operates from, all three come under suspicion. I have visions of the author with a plotting board getting her threads in a tangle trying to work out this one - I know my thoughts were twisting this way and that as I tried to come up with 'whodunnit'! Every time I had to lay this book aside (I feel asleep whilst reading late into the night), I couldn't stop thinking about the characters and wondering who, what, where and why! The answer comes at the end, and what a shocker that was .. I never would have guessed. This is a novel for modern times; a story which will grab you and keep you hooked all the way through and it's an excellent piece of work. The author deserves a huge pat on the back - I enjoyed this one immensely and have no hesitation in giving it a full five stars.

Loved this! I can't normally read physiological thrillers or anything like that because I normally guess what's happening straight away and whilst I did guess the connection between Mia and Janie I definitely didn't guess who did it. Great characters and well written story.

Gripping till the very end loved the twists and the suspense the set out of the book makes you feel as if you are apart of the book
